Analysis Of George Orwell's '1984'

Even though he is married, he and Julia have an affair that combines their personal desires as well as their desire to fight against the Party as it is explicitly stated in the novel. Winston and Julia both willingly participate in the affair because they are both moved to action by the Party’s acts of injustice. Winston is aware that the Party has blatantly outlawed “love” and Winston wants to feel romance in order to spite the Party. Both Julia and Winston would do anything to spite Big Brother. In addition to the love factor, Winston isn’t just participating because Julia is youthful, more so because he is drawn to the act of power. Winston isn’t just resisting power, he feels the need to hold

Every great novel needs main characters. Winston Smith, is the main protagonist of this novel. He represents the good in a world corrupt. Winston is slightly unhealthy and unattractive. He rebels in inefficient and utterly useless ways and eventually rebels fully. He is the lover to Julia. ‘...his chin nuzzled in his breast in an effort to escape the vile wind…’. Julia is the tertiary antagonist. She is the lover to Winston. She is

Winston hates the fact that she lives according to the Party’s teachings, considering he has many unorthodox opinions. Winston is evidently not content with his relationship with Katherine because he believes that marriage must be based on trust and love, rather than the fulfillment of the Party’s expectations. Winston finally realizes what it is like to feel for someone other than Big Brother when he encounters Julia. At first, Winston assumes that Julia is an agent of the Thought Police or of the Brotherhood, but it is not until he reads the note saying “I love you” that his thoughts change. It is extremely difficult for Winston and Julia to make plans due to the constant surveillance, so they spend time with each other by inhabiting the apartment over Mr. Charrington’s shop. For Winston, it is nice to know that there are people like him in Oceania, which is why Julia gives him a reason to stay alive. His health conditions also benefit from his love affair since “the process of life had ceased to be intolerable, he had no longer any impulse to make faces at the telescreen or shout curses at the top of his voice” (Orwell 150). Unfortunately, Winston begins to understand that Julia is not on the same page as him when it comes to the Party. There is no doubt that Julia hates the Party, however she makes no general criticism of it.

In the book “1984,” written by George Orwell, there is a character that is known as Big Brother. He is a man who could be known as a Demagogue. The reason for this is due to the fact that he was able to rise to such power where he is capable of changing the past. The way he is now, in the story, shows that he didn’t use rational argument to rise to power, but chose to appeal to the majority group of people through desires and prejudice.

After meeting Julia, he decides to openly become a rebel, and without hesitation he falls in love with Julia. This is an act of rebellion by Winston and Julia, because the government forbids love and sexual relations in any relationship. The two rebels have a relationship that they feel is secret, but in reality the government knows all. Julia and Winston would have never acted upon their actions if they were not influenced by writing ideas down, but the couple acted upon their thoughts which soon got them into deeper trouble than they could ever imagine. The torture and experiences that Winston and Julia went through after they were captured by the government shows just how powerful authority is. The end result of Winston betraying Julia is a product of how the government controlled and manipulated Winston’s mind to do unthinkable and hurtful actions. Conforming to a

In the beginning of the book, Winston inwardly believes that Julia is an amateur spy or a member of the thought police. during the two minute hey, let's and thinks that “her [Julia’s] real object had been to listen to him and make sure whether he was shouting loudly enough.” (Orwell, 61) Winston also said, “I wanted to rape you[Julia] and then murder you”(orwell 120) Winston questioning Juliet's true intentions show his distrust for her and him wanting to rape and murder her shows how Winston has a strong hate for Julia. Winston's view of Julia also shifts. This is exemplified when with his having a mental breakdown at the end of the book. He screams, “Julia! Julia! Julia, my love! Julia!" (orwell, 280) Not only did this outcry show his love for Julia, it also put Winston in great danger, Winston questioned how much time he had added to his servitude with that show emotion. The shows another major change in Winston character. He goes from being very suspicious of Juliet the risking a lot just to call for her. This perspective shifts shows how much Winston changed during the book, he is crying out for someone he said he wanted to rape and kill earlier in the

Being rebellious and having affairs with Party associates is a apart of Julia’s lifestyle and I admire her for living life the way she wants to. Even though her sensual personality and being involved with Winston gets her in trouble, she lived her life to fullest up until she got caught.

Later, O’Brien passes Winston in the hallway and invites him to his home to preview the new edition of the Newspeak dictionary; however, Winston and his lover, Julia, are inducted into that of the Brotherhood led by Emmanuel Goldstein. O’Brien discloses that each will be receiving a copy of Goldstein’s book sometime during Hate Week, as the two were obligated to read it.

Winston is a blubbering fool, but at the beginning of the book, he was kinda cool. He had a nice place to live and had a nice job which allowed him to live a peaceful life, but he had go and mess it up by writing in that dumb diary and hooking up with Julia. He was a records editor at the Ministry of Truth which allowed him to have some perks such as Victory Gin and Victory Cigarettes. All Winston had to do was to do his job and change records when they needed to be; no harm done.

Winston begins his journey as a diligent worker in the Ministry of Truth, secretly vowing to use the rest of his life to rid society of the Ocenia in which he currently lived. As he begins his involvement with Julia, Winston is able to come to terms with himself and understands his own distaste for the Party and Big Brother. Winston even agrees to commit suicide, if and when orders him to do so and almost approves O’Brien’s

Julia is at her best when Winston accuses her of spying on him for the thought police, but once they've moved on and settled their differences, she appears to have no agency outside of Winston’s plans, and consequently, their romance sort of dies. Winston and Julia think that they are safe and unseen, while they are hidden away in their rented room, the audience have unwilling been spying on them the entire time on a giant screen like voyeurs. Leaving the audience to question if they are just as bad as the thought

He wanted to make it seem like he was an extension of you, you wanted him to do certain things and sometimes just that happed. “Theyll shoot me i don’t care theyll shoot me in the back of the neck i dont care down with big brother they always shoot you in the back of the neck i dont care down with big brother --” (orwell 19). Just like this speech that he just said it make you fall in love with winston's character because he's a rebel everyone loves a rebel in the book even if you don't admit.he wanted you to get close to him so at the end when he died you would be tear jerked no matter what path it took it was going to the same place you believed it wouldn't happen even through at the beginning of the book “you will work for awhile, you will be caught, you will confess, and then you will die.”( orwell 176) Like this quote shows he wants you to know no matter what he does he will be caught he will confess then he will die. But as the book goes it it almost seems as he will survive as he's doing everything right he will

The very act of having the affair already displays the change in Winston caused by sleeping with her, for it “was a blow struck against the Party...a political act”. The Winston from the beginning would not have dared to do anything physical that would indicate rebellion against the Party, yet in that moment Winston willingly, in fact eagerly, lays with Julia. His first outright defiance of the Party’s rules causes a change in him, the full scope of which cannot be seen immediately, but rather through his actions as he raises his defiance from love-making rendezvouses to joining the rebel organization, the

O’Brien, whom Winston had come to trust throughout the whole novel, is tasked with making Winston believe that “whatever the party holds to be truth is the truth” (249). Despite Winton’s attempts to resist, he is made hollow through pain, suffering, and, above all, betraying the only person he has come to love by pawning his worst fear of rats to Julia with the betraying remark: “I don’t care what you do to her” (286). Throughout the whole novel the audience follows Winston develop, with the aid of the lively, rebellious Julia, into a more active revolutionary. His position within the tyrannical party allows him to take note of the hypocrisy of the party and over time the audience comes to sympathize with his motives. Though he seeks a better, free life by joining the ‘rebellion’, his fatalism is his defining characteristic. By the end of the novel, he is emotionless towards his once lover Julia. “They never meet again” (293). Winston in his end state is a hollow man, one that has come to “[love] Big Brother” (298).
